Homicide in KC

Police say officers were called late Wednesday night to the northeastern part of Kansas City for reports of gunshots. Arriving officers found a man down in the street who had been shot several times. The man was rushed to a Kansas City hospital, where he later died.

Police have not released the victim’s name. No arrests in the case had been reported by Thursday morning.

Police say the shooting happened only blocks from where another shooting homicide took place earlier this week, but investigators do not believe the killings are related.
